WEEKENDER: Get Glam with MAC, HK International Film Festival and More!

Yay! Easter is finally here… long weekend here we come! But before we kick back, relax and scoff all our Easter eggs next weekend, here’s our round-up of some of HK’s coolest events this week.

Feather fury!
Let the feathers fly and have a pyjama party in broad daylight with International Pillow Fight Day! Hong Kong’s version will be taking place in Statue Square so bring your own pillow, don your fancy dress, wait for the signal and get swinging those cushions!

Spinning around
Australia’s hottest trance vocalist and singer-songwriter Emma Hewitt is in town for one night only at W Hong Kong; she’ll also be supported by much-loved DJ Ronski Speed, with special guests Ryan Li and Kendy Lam. Make the most of your pre-Ching Ming late night out and party til the midnight hours!

Get glam – and make a difference
Charity collaborations are all the rage these days but what we love about MAC’s Viva Glaminitiative is that every single cent – not just a percentage of profits or a small fraction of the cost – goes to their MAC Aids Fund. This time, they’ve enlisted singing superstars Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin (probably the first and last time we can expect to see them together!) to create two fab lip products – a bright pink lipstick for Nicki and a moisturising lip conditioner for Ricky. So now’s the time to get glam and make a difference; make sure you snag one before they sell out!

Easter egg hunt
Celebrate Easter with some hip-hop mash-up all night long at FLY, who will be holding a Wasted Bunnies night where you get scavenge for FLY’s special Easter eggs, which will all be filled with intoxicating treats! Even better – it’s complimentary for girls, there will be free-flow selected cocktails from 10pm-2am plus some special offers on shots too. If you manage to recover in time for Easter Weekend, check out BLOOM’s scrummy Easter Brunch – where there’s optional free-flow of Bellini or Bloody Marys!

Get the popcorn ready…
Sick of all the regular blockbusters at your local multiplex? How about catching some of the more eclectic films showing as part of Hong Kong’s International Film Festival instead? It comes to a close this week, but there’s still a full programme of loads of different types of movies to catch up on before it does, including shorts, foreign films, documentaries and much more.

P.S. It’s the end of March, which means it’s the last time for you to redeem our current Sassy Deals… Check them out and get some last-minute bargains!

P.P.S We’re off on our Easter holidays so there won’t be a Weekender next Friday! Enjoy your hols girls!

Originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and I lived in New York City for three years before moving to Hong Kong in May 2008. Moving to Hong Kong has been one of the best decisions I ever made! I am a total city girl and pride myself on being able to navigate the hills of Hong Kong in 5-inch heels. I am quite certain though that I will face plant one day on Pottinger Street and I just hope no one will be around to witness it. I love all things fitness related and I am at my happiest when doing Tree pose on my yoga mat.
